    Cell shading not working on two cells

    Hi I've created a form in Infopath 2007 that is opened in a browser then on first submit is emailed to someone to fill out and submit. The second submit loads the form into the sharepoint library where it was originally opened from. My issue is that when I first open the form 2 cells in my table do not have the correct cell shading. There are 2 columns in the row and the it is only the first 2 cells in two rows that have incorrect shading the rest are fine. Once I submit the form and it is emailed it shows correctly in the email but when submited to sharepoint and reopened it again has the same incorrect shading. We have IE 11 but I get the same issue in Chrome. I do get the warning about he potnetially unsafe HTML found in my view and that it will be modified or removed when the form is shown to the user. I've tried removing these rows and adding again but issue persists. Any ideas?

     Yuck - do you see the same issue when you preview the form? Or only in the browser?

     I bet - want to attach the form under the Options tab in a reply and tell me where the issue is? I can take a look at the view file from the form source files and see if I can figure out what's causing the issue.

    The two fields that aren't correctly shaded are the one with Project and the other with Resources names.

     Can you give this one a try and see what happens? I manually revised the view to apply the background color to the whole row instead of the individual cells.... I've no idea if this is going to make any difference. :)

    Save the linked file locally, right click and select design to open in design mode, then publish as usual and try the form out in the browser.
